章 64: Council of Owls [3]

Attending the gathering held possible risks. After all, players couldn't even attend this early in the game, which meant there was a serious lack of information.

The people attending, the purpose of the gathering, and its overall significance were all unknown.

But one thing was clear.

The gathering was where it all began.

In every playthrough, the first gathering at the start of the game always ended with the same event—an executive was murdered.

At first, no one knew who the culprit was.

But by the midpoint of the game, the truth finally came to light.

It wasn't a traitor.

It was an infiltrator.

A single mistake that took years to uncover.

And all of it led back to one person.

Irene Barielle Aetherion.

One of her personnel had been responsible for the executive's murder.

That incident marked the beginning of Irene's downfall.
